About
After plumbing for 19 years Aaron, our Union trained expert, has seen almost everything. He has been involved in the new construction plumbing of high rise apartments, multi unit apartments, condominiums, townhouses, restaurants, multi million dollar custom mansions, semi custom homes, and track homes in huge subdivisions. He has worked on the new installation of building drain waste and vent (DWV) piping, hot, cold, and tempered water supply piping, gas piping, and fixture installation. He has installed and repaired all brands of toilets, faucets, bidets, tub/shower valves, Roman tub fillers, garbage disposals, dishwashers, gas fireplaces, water heaters, tankless water heaters, steam generators, garden hose spigots, mixing valves, commercial toilet flush valves, and Urinals. He has installed and replaced bathtubs (with and without walls), shower bases, tub drains, shower drains, sump pumps, ejector pumps, pressure booster pumps, hot water recirculating pumps, kitchen sinks, pedestal sinks, wall mount sinks, vanity cabinets, washing machines, and gas dryers. He has found G.I. Joe guys, combs, and toothbrushes in the toilet. He has found dead birds blocking vents. He has found dead animals, rags, roots, toys, and tampons blocking drains. He has solved mystery leaks, mystery smells, and mystery noises. He has devised scores of methods through trial and error to make plumbing easier, cleaner, faster, and safer. He has even invented a tool to make an impossible repair possible. When he says there is nothing he can’t fix, he means it.
I most enjoy meeting new people. Introducing myself and gaining confidence and trust in clients who were, just a short time before, complete strangers. The pride in solving a difficult problem or complicated task and making it look easy. The joy in knowing that I made a difference in someone's day and that they will call me again when they need help again.
